Regardless, Paul George is reminding everyone that he’s really, really good. Many Pacers fans were frustrated with him two seasons ago for not doing more for a team that finished 42-40 and needed a late-season adrenaline injection from Stephenson to qualify for the playoffs, but his reputation has never been better than now. If some Pacers fans are still harboring grudges, their voices likely are drowned out in George’s brain by the fans in OKC and his former teammates and coaches in Indianapolis. “He’ll always be a brother to us, and I’m sure he feels the same way about us,” Thaddeus Young said.
